Run4Unity 2020

26/04/2020

Hundreds of thousands of teenagers leading the worldwide sports relay race. Boys and girls from different ethnic groups, cultures and religions race together to bear witness to their commitment to peace and to promote a way to reach this peace : the Golden Rule.

It’s an event that in previous years has involved over 100,000 teenagers in various cities of every corner of the globe.

What is it?

The baton passes from one time zone to the next making it also an opportunity for exchanges between the places involved. At different latitudes, sporting events, acts of solidarity and experiences of active citizenship get under way, especially in places where solitude, poverty and marginalization prevail. Personalities from the world of sport and culture, and civil and religious authorities take part in some cities.

The Run4Unity 2020 will be very different from other years: sports gatherings are impossible due to the pandemic; but the spirit is the same, convinced that we are still in #In Time for Peace. Using creativity and social media, participants will be able to commit to individual or collective online peace initiatives that contribute to building a more united and fraternal world.
